Maybe, in the initial stages it was mentioned that purely based on football USC and Oregon would be the two most attractive schools, but even the article mentions the other factors that had UCLA make sense where Oregon didn’t.
Clickbait.
That headline is FAR more definitive than the article is.
Yeah, that really makes him sound like he knows what he's talking about.
No one cares about this.
The real question is, OT Has anyone died recently?

There is no way in hell anyone with a brain preferred Oregon over UCLA. Aside from Notre Dame, UCLA and USC were the two most valuable schools outside of the Big Ten and SEC. My guess is this was a rumor started by Oregon in a propaganda attempt to make them seem desired by the big two conferences. The most interesting thing in the interview is that Arizona President is so dumb that he believed it.
This is total BS. The Big Ten didn't seek out any school. USC and UCLA approached the Big Ten.
It makes him sound like those women who pick teams in the office football pool based on whether they like the team's uniform colors.
